Pegu Club
Description
The Pegu Club cocktail originated the Pegu Club in Rangoon, the capital of Myanmar or Burma, which was formerly part of the British Empire. The Pegu Club, named for the nearby Pegu River, made its way around the world with Brits and foreigners alike in the early 20th century. No one is certain who created it or when it was invented, but it must have been before 1927, as that was the year of publication of Harry MacElhone's Barflies and Cocktails, which was the first book to make mention of the Pegu Club. From there it became a mainstay in bar culture and a clear cultural reference.
Ingredients
2 Ounce(s) Gin
1/2 Ounce(s) Orange curacao
1/2 Ounce(s) Fresh Lime Juice
1 Dash(es) Angostura Bitters
Directions (Cocktail)
Stir with ice and strain into chilled cocktail glass. Serve in a Cocktail Glass.
Russ's Drink Corner
2Bar Bottled-in-Bond Straight Bourbon
Description
Over a century ago the 2BAR ranch was founded in Texas. For five generations the 2BAR brand has stood for quality, independence, and hard work. Those values are brought to 2BAR Spirits, where locally grown grain is milled, mashed, fermented, distilled, and aged in oak barrels. We do all of this with one goal in mind: make a damn fine whiskey. We remain true to that lineage at our distillery in Seattle, Washington. Our single minded focus on making great whiskey is what motivates our team every single day. We do it the hard way because it’s the right way. At the end of the day it’s just really good whiskey, made by people with relentless passion.
